Default Firewall Pass Through

My son has purchased a powered sub woofer for his 2005 Crossfire SRT6 coup. I have installed one of these before in a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. The hardest part of the job is running a thick power wire from the unit to the battery. I need to pass through the firewall somewhere. I really, really do not want to drill a new hole. Where is the easiest place to access a rubber grommet and get this job done?

Just behind the battery is a rubber grommet that is made for a pass through. If I recall correctly, you must remove the battery and tray to gain access.

Thanks, I have access to both sides of the grommet. While it does not look like you can added a wire to the positive battery terminal, I did find this. Can anybody tell me what type fuse this is. Fuse spot #1 is free and I would love to buy a fuse to fit it, but I just don’t have a clue about its name.

When we imported our car to Ontario we had to have daytime running lights. I could not get a Canadian headlight switch at the time, and in order to get Chrysler to do the software manipulation and run through all original wiring. I had to buy an aftermarket DRL set up to use. One requirement for the aftermarket DRL to run properly is to have a live direct 12v feed. I pulled that off the positive clamp as per picture and then installed an in line fuse holder which made it easily accessible. I put all the wiring in looms etc so it looks factory. This might be something you could use and then feed it back through the firewall - it would be fused at that point.

I should have looked harder myself before asking, but I guess its a MIDI type fuse. That helps!
